Aussies to draw on Cup-winning experience

Australia's experience at winning Cricket World Cups will come to the fore as the finals approach, captain Aaron Finch says.

They have won four of the past five tournaments and featured in all but one final dating back to 1996, with the team currently on track for the last four once again.

Six of Australia's current squad have previously lifted the trophy in 2015, with India's Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni the only other players in the tournament to have won a final.

"It's really valuable," Finch said of his side's experience.

"We've also got Ricky Ponting with us; Brad Haddin with us as coaching staff have won World Cups and multiple World Cups, as well.

"Just to be able to share that experience of what you might feel when you walk out into the middle in a knock out game or a high-pressure game, England and Australia at Lord's, it doesn't get much bigger than that."

That experience has already shown, with Australia claiming clutch wins over the West Indies and Pakistan as they threatened to get away from them at the death.

Of the four teams likely to contest the finals, only India and Australia have previously won the World Cup.
